The small incision eliminates the need to cut tendons or muscles in order to reach the hip; this results in reduced muscle damage, reduced pain, a faster recovery and fewer restrictions on the activities you're excited to get back to.

In fact, most patients are able to leave the hospital the same day as the surgery to recuperate at home.

Orthopedic surgeons at EvergreenHealth are among the few in the region performing this new approach to hip replacement.
